Review Quotes
Nina Power, author of One-Dimensional Woman
“Multi-faceted, insightful, global: Fiona Jeffries' conversations with some of our best contemporary theorists, activists, historians (and frequently all three at once) confront fear head-on and come out fighting. In-depth conversations tackle some of the thorniest topics confronting activists and theorists today: how best to understand the state? How best to fight against it? What types of global thinking and resistance can help us to think—and act—otherwise.”
Greg Grandin, author of The Empire of Necessity
“An eloquent and urgent book. Fiona Jeffries has assembled some of our planet's most important thinkers, who help us figure out the present in order to imagine a better future.”
Peter Linebaugh, author of Stop, Thief! The Commons, Enclosure, and Resistance
“Here, like a family album of loved ones, is a collection from nine accomplished, active radicals whose biographical background helps introduce figures of resistance from our collective memory—the pirate, the migrant, the witch, the communard, the mother, the dispossessed, the Other—who recuperate our dignity through laughter, courage, truth, and indignation."
Joanna Bourke, author of Wounding the World: How Military Violence and War-Play Invade our Lives
“A stimulant for hope. Passionate, positive, and practical, it suggests new ways to change our world.”
